Before the lights of the ring, there was a boy pushing a cart through the streets of Guadalajara.
Canelo Álvarez grew up in a family with limited means, and from a young age he had to contribute his effort to the family business: selling ice cream and popsicles door to door.
His first day was not the one he dreamed of. He walked, offered, insisted… and returned home with the cart untouched, without having sold a single popsicle. Not a single peso to help his household that day.
Today, when you see him raise belts and fill stadiums, it is worth remembering that image: a boy who did not give up after a bad day. That same tenacity that did not sell ice cream as a child is what led him to conquer the world of boxing
